EU orphan works directive – a guide

Theresa Hackett has alerted us that a new EIFL guide out for libraries on the EU Orphan Works Directive. The October 2012 Directive 2012/28/EU, she says, set out common rules for digitization and online display of orphan works, but unfortunately it has not realized hopes for large-scale digitization of orphan works by libraries.

The Guide explains the background and key provisions, and it makes recommendations for libraries to implement in EU countries, and advises libraries in countires that have bilateral agreements with the UE.
